Lt. Col. Paul Fredin, commander of the 375th Civil Engineer Squadron, and 375th CES engineer Kenneth Cavanaugh (middle) talk with graduate students Cam Loyet and Kyle Collier (left to right) about water drainage at Hangar 3. The students visited the base on March 2, 2020, as part of their Innovating for Defense class at Washington University. Their class project is to identify potential solutions to prevent future flooding of Hangar 3, which sits in a low-lying area. The students will present their ideas to the Scott’s Elevate innovation team.

C-21 pilot Capt. Chandler Thorpe, 458th Airlift Squadron, and Washington University graduate student Kyle Gero go through a pre-flight checklist. Gero is a graduate student, who is collaborating with Scott’s Elevate innovation team and the squadron on a C-21 cockpit trainer project. The C-21 aircraft inventory went through an avionics upgrade in 2019, however, the training simulator uses the older cockpit configuration.
